17 different people must respond to this post or I will quit blogging...

You really lucked out not continuing with the National Museum. One of the more interesting museums on offer. Plenty of activities and an interesting space. What table number did you sit at in Bondi? top

dan - i'm not ashamed of tennis... it was unlucky... we nailed that 2nd set... if we had have played 3rd set we would have one... but tie-breakers are heart-breakers just like penalty shoot-outs - is it true you wet yourself during our penalty shoot-out????

daniel - i didn't see you in canberra... did you see me???

joel - i think i will make it to 17... there's enough people who claim to read this thing... let's wait and see...

craigs - as long as it's not obvious... he can't have rodeoclown2, rodeoclown3, rodeoclown 4 etc... it would have to be something like: codeorlown, clownrodeo, rodeoalphaclown, nwolcoedor etc... top

the reason row didn't like it was the silence during the video.there was no mention of Australia's Christian heritage... but there were shots of every other major religion... and even mention of germaine greer!! what's with that!!!!!!there was some pluralistic relativising punk kid who says that you can believe in whatever you want and you'll be okay...

i think it was pretty poor. visually it was great... but i agree with row on the silence thing.

so yeah... i've been there before... on the yr 6 vomit trip of 2003 (when I was teaching).

i think the war memorial is the non-negotiable one when visiting canberra. top

i watched it... was planning on going.,.. but ticketek told me it was sold out... disappointed to see that the crowd was only 36,000 - 6000 under capacity!! i should have gone and tried to get in after kick-off!

Yeah, I have quite a few readers Sunday nights, but I have most on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays.

You should check how much your readership stats jump when Craig links a post to his page!

I was going to quit last week partly because of the stat counter though - not because people don't read my page - because I have quite a high number (I assume - noone really to compare to, maybe it's not a high number!)...but because I started to write to see if the stats went higher and lower - and it messed with my mind!

Hence, thinking of taking it off, or not looking at it - also starting questioning why and whom I write for...that's sorted out in my head now though! top
